O.k, when you say gay marriage is wrong b/c god says so, do you really want to follow a god that is 'prejudice' (for lack of a better word) towards people?
Living your life by a book written by people that claim this is gods word, it's not like Jesus wrote it!?!?!
Living your life to please something you don't even know exists.
I'm not being hateful, I seriously want to know your thoughts on this.

In Australia today, i say the show - 20/20 on Pay TV. I must say, i was not suprised to see how the head of the churches spend their donations. All were millionaires & only donated 2% of the donations to charity. That is disgusting. They were quite happy to say that they look after themselves first. It makes me wonder, are Pastors & Priests REALLY religious or, are they only pretending to be a part of the whole "God" thing, purely for the money?

So I was "debating" a creationist through a few emails, the last one he sent was pretty heated. He informed me that he knows the truth because he majored in Evolution in college...

Is it time to end the conversation?

Wait, died = past.
"If" implies future.

Somebody help me out with this. Combining past and future in one sentence is illogical.

Is this ridiculous belief that God placed dinosaur bones under the earth as a test actually a widely held belief??

If not how do these nutters explain the existence of dinosaur bones?

Also, the belief in "Creationism". Do people actually believe this and how do they get around the proof of evolution?

Rom 3:28 (KJV): "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law."

Most of Christianity is not based on the words of Christ but the words of Bible authors.

There opinions are now equal to divine commands and the word of God.

That sounds very very spiritually dangerous.

How is religion now any different from mythology from ancient times?
Like the bible(not to single out chrstinity or anything) if your read it in a literary or historical, not religious manner, it is just like that of Greece and Rome, And Egypt,etc (besides being monotheistic).
Just wandering how you justify this to be true but can completely deny the others, when your main religious documents are so much alike!?!?!

Okay, actually, it was the Qu'ran, but I wanted to get honest answers.

Does that change things?

What can be more boastful then to declare you are guaranteed heaven ????

Who says you cant be boastful of your faith ?

Telling others that they will burn in hell unless they adopt your interpretation of faith is outright arrogance.

Everytime a Protestant chides a Catholic or Mormon......... it is the height of boasting.

Is it wrong to pray that bears maul my seventh grade orthodontist? Here’s why I ask. The first thing Elisha does as a prophet is heal some water. The second thing? Bear attack.
Check out 2 Kings 2:

23 As he was walking, some youths came out and jeered at him. “Go on up, you baldhead!” they said.” 24 He turned around and called down a curse in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.

Can you imagine if God still operated that way? Man, I would abuse that. I can see myself getting frustrated by a teenager on his cellphone in the middle of a movie. Without asking him to be quiet, I’d mutter under my breath, “God, bears please.”
How many bears would I launch during my commute? Cut me off, here’s a bear. Rode up the breakdown lane, how about a bear? Gave me the finger? Three bears.

I would be bearing people all day. Which is why God won’t give me access to them. He knows I’m a jerk and would abuse the blessing of attack bears.

I couldn't sleep last night. I kept thinking about school and money and everything. When I got up to walk around, clear my head, the Bible was on the floor, like it had fallen off my shelf, but I didn't hear it.
Is this a sign from God?

I am a Muslim woman. I've studied Islam for 10 years now. I also study it everyday. I see an accusation by others or something negative, I do the research and find it's always been taken out of context. And this is exactly what the Quran says, that we as Muslims are to question everything. Only by questioning can you understand anything.

Here is what I'm wondering. When do you think the terrorists will wise up and realize that it's all politics and they should stop using the name of Islam to do these things? When will they wake up and demand that their leaders, who have lied about 72 virgins being given in Heaven to those who do this despite the Quran not saying a single thing about 72 virgins or anything sexual in Heaven, go out and do the same?

Shouldn't the terrorists who are being brainwashed, upon being told to kill themselves and other innocent people, demand that the "leaders" demanding they do this do it themselves first since they believe so strongly in it?

It clearly says the MAN is the head of the WOMAN and even compares it to Christ being the head of the church! How can you just ignore this verse???

Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
